    I will trade my yellowbirds for Jensen smoke dodgers.

    Those are the new style on there. Those won't work with his older style, rigger side cable. I have 3 of the old style complete cable sets in great shape I would part with if tin cup doesn't come through with enough.

    I have 3 of the older style cables but you may want to contact Cannon because they replaced all of my old style cables with the new ones for free, and the new yellow connectors do work with the flush mount adapters.

    I have a similar drawing to yours with a boat and just about every rod option drawn in so I can just write in what l plan to run the night before. This really helped me sleep better at night before fishing. During and after fishing I write down other pertinent information on the back side, and sometimes I will write down fishing report info from previous days or previous days' weather info. I would love to know what other guys who have been following trends have found to be the most valuable bits of info to keep track of.

    Do you have any Worm Silver spoons you would part with? Any idea why they stopped making these spoons?

    It is definitely a love hate thing with Traxstech for me. I finally got my custom parts and I really love the whole system I built with their components. I get nothing but compliments from everyone that sees my boat. I really hate the way I feel like I was lied to and strung along in the process of getting custom parts made. I can't imagine doing shows yeilds them more business than guys trying to order stuff online or over the phone, but that is where their priorities apparently are at. The girls that answer the phones have always been great to me as well. Extremely nice and very helpful, unfortunately they don't deal with anything custom.

    Having the option to run as many as your boat can handle is the way I think. I am set up with 4 on both my Lund and my Grady. 4 is nice for a 12 rod spread, 3 is perfect for a 9 rod spread, and 2 for the 6 rod spread. I tend to run 3 most times with 2 riggers on one side working a team with a slider on the higher rigger rod so I am covering 3 depths close together. I feel naked running only 2 riggers since I added the other 2.

    If anyone has any of these I will buy them!!

    Joesmo is right. They made Brass Beef and Silver Beef in the Half Moon series. Both were discontinued years ago. They also made Lemon Seeds, Brass Seeds, Worm Silver, and I believe Silver Anchovy. They were great spoons that caught lots of fish, but the paint starts to come off quickly with every fish. That may be why they were discontinued?

    Thank you for the info. I have not had this problem yet, but my new boat has chirp and I probably would have eventually. So many times I search for info on forums and usually can find someone with similar issues, but rarely do they ever post their solution, so thanks again.

    This is what I have in my big net. Works great but wrap some electrical tape on the handle before you zip tie. Keeps the zip tie from sliding.

    Thanks J.D., I will see how this works for me on Lake Michigan.

    Does anybody use a fixed slider for their MUP rigs, or mainly just stacking? I used to stack but haven't had a need since I started running 3 or 4 riggers. Also, how long is your typical stretch on the lower, smaller spoon from the ball?

    Here's a few pics of my Grady Gulfstream I just rigged. I'm loving the wider beam and rigging layout so far.

    If your top priority is fishing, a walkaround with lots of fishing room gets my vote. I'm loving my new/old Grady Gulfstream. Outboards are a must for me because some of the best fishing can be early or late in the season.

    That looks exactly like my cannon ducer (far left) except for the paddle wheel. Same bracket as well.

    A picture of the back of the boat might help elicit some advice. It's hard to say without seeing your rig. My Lund has 4 long boom Cannons mounted and although I mostly use 3 of them, I have no issues with netting fish.

    Mission accomplished. With a shakedown of your magnitude, if everything works on the boat, catching fish would just be a bonus. At least you know everything works and you will slay many a fish with your new weapon. Congrats!

    I would buy these if you could ship. My Tyee had these exact seats when I first bought her.

    Maybe there are more Alewives than they know of? I've heard some positive news of some big schools of bait in shallow water this year that were visible with the naked eye. Also, I have caught my share of Kings with Gobies in their bellies. They are definitely not the dumb fish that only knows how to eat Alewives that some might want you to believe. I give them much more respect than that.

    Not really the case over here. They are being caught on both sides of our southern basin and even further north to some degree, and the size of the fish are unusually large for spring fish in Lake Michigan. Makes for some exciting fishing while targeting smaller fish on lighter gear.

    A friend of mine had to change his anodes because his Hewescraft had salt water anodes and they practically disintegrated from the stray current in the harbor. I can't remember what was originally on the boat, but I'm pretty sure he switched them to magnesium. He also bought 2 magnesium anodes to hang over the gunwales when the boat is docked, which are clipped to a bolt in the gunwales with an alligator clip.

    We are experiencing the same on Lake Michigan this year. Lots of Kings over 20 around the southern Basin being caught...coincidence?
